Still searching for their ideal starting eleven, the Eagles fought hard in the first 45 minutes, only to see the French side take the lead through Plea one minute before the half-time. Cenk Tosun levelled the scores on 61 minutes, but Mendy put Nice back in front 3 minutes later. However, Beşiktaş refused to surrender as Captain Necip Uysal tapped the ball in coming from the cross-bar and evened up the score once again. Eagles pressed for the winner in the remainder of their third pre-season friendly but were unable to find the net.
